I read the first book for a class and I think I managed to read them all before the movie came out. At least I know I finished the first one by then. I didn't try to figure out what it was about, I just started reading it. I assumed it might be a boring book about some poverty-ridden country, but obviously it's way different than I expected. I liked all three, but I felt the last one was rushed. I thought it should have actually been split into two books. The movie is good too I think. It's a bit long, but it's worth it to avoid cutting out so much. But I wish they would have gotten the right color cat for the movie...a black cat named buttercup?
